So, I took a bit of time to think about this and what if HOUSING was instanced? That way nobody could resell or profit from relocation etc since I was told it was against the tos anyways? It might help stop the issues of people finding houses! Any ideas? Housing Wards are nice and everything but at times I like peaceful and quiet when I go to a place I call "home". No flaming me please, I'm just thinking outloud!
Well you are not wrong, the good news is Housing, with the addition of the newest wards is more accessible to those that care for it. It has been a good month since that release and well the ward i upgraded to is still rife with unsold plots. That is just my server though. I heard on a podcast that on gilgamesh there was one player who is a veteran since legacy who was very miffed at the initial release of player housing and how SE basically rooked billions of gil of value by dropping the price of housing drastically. As a result this player decided to become a real estate mogul on gilgamesh and owns two entire wards and resells those plots at exorbant prices.
I had to see this and confirm it myself, It is very true. all 60 plots on gilgamesh goblet ward 19 are owned by the "Mew" guilds. Thing is, this may be exclusive to the Gilgamesh server.
A lot of people - me included - have advocated instanced housing for quite some times. My server it's not so bad, but I know on the very populated servers it is. I would love to see a mix of instanced and housing at is now, or perhaps make the housing as it is now for FCS and instanced be the housing for individuals. As long as there are outdoor areas for gardening, and the different sizes, of course. I know they want the neighborhood feel, but I rarely see anyone in my ward, or my FC's ward. I go to the Market Board and bell a lot just in hopes.
I have heard - but don't quote me, is it is server limitations and perhaps code limitations.
